Synopsis
Matthew Swift, sorcerer, Midnight Mayor, is in charge, or so he would like to think. And London, being London, is having its issues. The job mostly means trouble arriving from all sides: fairy dust on the streets, magical killings and hunted teenagers turn the city into a place on the brink of bloodshed, and Matthew discovers how many things can go wrong at once when he has both power and responsibility. The fourth and final Matthew Swift novel, published by Orbit in 2012.
